I am working on a multisite that features a BP theme as the primary site at http://www.domain1.com. I need to hide the site while I’m developing it, so I want to use a placeholder theme as the primary site and temporarily move the BP site to a secondary site at http://www.domain1.com/main until the whole project is done. Then, I would like to move the BP site back to the primary position. Is there a simple way to do this? Even after I generate content? Any help appreciated.

Yes. Just install the Maintenance Mode plugin and you’re good to go developing BP in main site. No need to develop BP in secondary blog. You can even add some styling or image/s to Maintenance Mode page while you’re at it.

Great. Thank you. I was hoping to use the placeholder theme though as it has a great counter and email form on it. If I can’t make it happen, then I will go with the maintenance mode plugin.

This worked when I used it early last year.
